Okushiga Kogen Hotel Family Packages Overview
Okushiga Kogen, located in the Nagano prefecture is one of the 19 ski areas that make up the largest ski resort in Japan; Shiga Kogen. The area is blessed with high annual snowfalls of 10m+ and due to the resort’s high elevation, the snow typically falls and stays drier than other Nagano ski resorts.
Until this season, off-piste skiing around Shiga Kogen has been very limited and is frowned upon by the various ski areas. Okushiga Kogen is leading the change for Shiga Kogen with designated off-piste skiing terrain including gladed tree zones.
In addition to this, Okushiga Kogen has commenced operation of its international ski school equipped to handle ski & snowboard lessons for all levels and ages in a multitude of languages. Both private and group lessons are available.
Combine all of this with the conveniently located ski-in/out Okushiga Kogen Hotel and you have the foundations for a perfect ski or snowboard holiday.
